Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

I have also started work on another Naval Brigade gun team, this time to be pulled by a mule team, a very nice set from Tiger Miniatures (with an order turn round time of 48 hours - well done). All the various traces have been made from the usual garden twisty wire , and soldered to the limber and harnesses.

Also a couple of other separate limber sets and another 18 Naval Brigade foot all prepared, along with all the outstanding Mahdist Camel and Baggara Cavalry. The desk is nicely full

And finally a warm weekend saw work on the 12 x 6 desert mat which will be used for a few upcoming games.

Still needs some lighter highlights and a little tidying up. But its getting there.
